Handmade Soapstone African Hippo Figurine Sculpture

Handmade Hippo Soapstone Figurines are unique African creations crafted from white soapstone, a soft stone found in the region of Kisii in southwestern Kenya. Local artisans, skilled in soapstone carvings, use a hammer and chisel to shape the stone before smoothing it with sandpaper. The figurines are then painted and delicately etched with a small knife to create intricate patterns. They stand at approximately 2 inches in height and 3 inches in length, making them a stunning addition to any table or furniture display.

These figurines are not only beautiful decor pieces but also make for distinctive gifts that showcase the creativity of African artisans. In addition to the hippo design, there are various colors and designs available for you to choose from.
